I'm test driving the new diesel Grand tomorrow!

I am a regular at jg.org and have not seen anythign that is too conserning.
You need to remember that apparently over 16,000 JGC's have been sold in the USA as they have been around for a year. The Lemon Laws over there make car makers fix things better and faster. We also have similar LL's now in Oz since Jan 2011, so we can take more action to get thing fixed, including using our own repairer if the dealer sucks. I ordered a CRD Overland in April and still have no idea when the car is going to be delivered. I am now dealing with the customer service manager who is speaking to the national sales manager who is going to make the NSW sales manager call me, as he has not returned my messages in 5 weeks. Jeep Oz need to keep their clients informed as they are really starting to piss off a lot of people by the lack of supply and delivery. Jeep have a great product, but their execution of the orders seems woeful. Hopefully tomorrow I will find out when it will be delivered, as I have 30July on my order and I want it now.

The new GC's have started to hit the ground (as in dealership demo vehicles). Heaps are supposedly sitting on the docks in the US, waiting for transit to Aus.

There are mixed messages at different dealers, from colour availaiblity to delivery dates.... I'd suspect the communication from head office aint so great. 3 different dealers have 3 different perspectives on what's available and when.

Aug/Sep delivery time.

Just tyre kicked a CRD at Armstrongs Toowoomba a Laredo with the air suspension not a fan of that though, they had a petrol also but no Hemi, liked bits of it but would take about 1 minute to clog the guards with mud there just isn't any damn room in the wheel arches, big muddies would be a hard option to fit, but loved the seats, bullbar would have to be a first option, front has no protection.
ZG and WG were an off road job from the show room floor this one I think would need a bit of work first.
